But I do have rules about whether I can have said to have visited a country, ie does the country “count” which I have inherited from my family, particularly my Dad. My favourite was a family of Hartlaub’s Babblers on the Namibian side, and a bright jewel of a Malachite Kingfisher on the Botswanan side.

When I was a preschooler, I wasn’t allowed to watch much television, but I did get a double-dose of public programming — the PBS station out of Buffalo and the CBC beaming across the border from Ontario both showed a lot of material that met with my mother’s approval and my own.

What I do remember is Irv Weinstein, Buffalo’s favorite news guy. The kid would be thankful they had been found, and then they would head back home as one happy family. He was well liked, was part of our community and seeing him on the TV screen was an essential piece of growing up in 80s WNY. Fall migrants!

Looking left I saw a big, male buffalo behind the bush. In my family, we have a tradition (in place since 1347 when we survived the Black Death) of “ wait over the weekend and see what happens ”. It’s such a great place for birds. Just a few meters away from me. Once I got home, I started feeling very sick.

This totally crazy bird is the crème de la crème of the cracid family, and besides being endangered (population estimated at under 2,500), its habitat choice of cloudforests on the steep slopes of a few volcanoes and mountains in southern Mexico and south-western Guatemala makes it a tough bird to seek. Secondly, well just look at it.

This is how, I think, the “Crossley technique” works best—coverage of specific bird families that pose identification challenges to birders at all levels of skill.
